With regards to

I'd definitely want the Bezel to be that of the Rolex in the earlier photo (even better if the numerals have luminova (glow thingy) in them).

Can't seem to find the mercedes hands

Anyone care to spoon-feed me the links to all the parts? Looks quite complex because I would think compatibility issues between different watch models.

For the mods they are all online shops so a bit of googling and you will know what's possible. Once you see something you like and identify the source feel free to write directly to enquire. That's how these guys run their business; don't be shy to ask for for something not available too.

Do you know the model of he Seiko in the picture? Just make sure it's something still available and doesn't cost a bomb. Let's us know how you progress, these things have a way of catching on like Wildfire, don't be surprised if find yourself some faithful followers in your project! So post back here!

And if you find the exact strap on that Rolex let me know, I'd like to get the same too

Right now I'm planning a trip overseas, so it'll be a while before I get started on this 'project'.

This is a SKX033K mod.

I saw one similar one on yobokies1's photobucket

He says it is a "SKX031/033K mod with M-Benz hands, Rollie black bezel insert and domed ar coated sapphire"


Don't know if I'd be getting a rolex strap. I'd say yobokies1 mod looks great, just need the pepsi bezel replaced and add in a nato strap and BOOM.

Happiness.

Have some time now since watching World Cup so decided to take some photos...

This was waiting for me when I reached home from my overseas trip.

Finally they are here, MrHanz Full Pearl Stingray straps!

Mounted the black one on my wife's 219... Wife is on 110/60mm whereas mine is 135/75mm.

Some colour comparison

Final photo!

Will mount the brown full pearl strap on my 351 next week so back to the box it goes.

Sibei swee!!!

New strap came today!

Mounted on!

^ sporty Tag Heuer style look. Uncommon to see it on Panerai. I don't believe Panerai/OEM has such.

1940s and 1950s Straps

Hi RWC,

Just got back from the UK. Got some reward from my treasure hunting for vintage watch and accessories.

Here is a sample of what I have found.

These are unused vintage straps for ladies and gents from the 1940s and 1950s. Where can one find Straps Made in England or Germany these days..hhahahahaahhhaha

Enjoy, till next time when I found something, I will share with you guys.
Have a good day.
